Before my Minneapolis gig in April, I visited the former residence of Bob and Tommy Stinson. This is the house from the Replacements' Let It Be album cover!

Bill's bungalow
Last week, I visited the former home of William S. Burroughs in Lawrence, KS. It was just as I imagined it would be.
Spring Tour update #3
Spent a beautiful day at the park yesterday in Omaha, NE. Today I'm on my way to Moorhead, MN to start a week of shows in Falcon Heights MN, Minneapolis MN (x2), Rockford IL, and Milwaukee WI. Check the SHOWS page for details.
Smoke on the highway
After 10 shows in a row in 9 days (two on Saturday), I had a break yesterday in Kansas City, MO. I took the opportunity to enjoy some park life, do laundry, and eat delicious vegan food at FÜD. Today, I will drive through the freeway fires of Kansas to Lincoln, NE for a gig tonight at Crescent Moon.
Spring Tour update #2
I spent most of last week in Oklahoma and had fun at every stop! This week I'll be in Kansas (Overland Park, Lawrence) and Nebraska (Lincoln x 2, Omaha). Check the SHOWS page for details.
The Womb
Greetings from Oklahoma! I played in Oklahoma City a few nights ago at The Bleu Garten. It's a great venue that's just a few blocks from The Flaming Lips headquarters, The Womb. If this is what it looks on the outside, I'm sure the inside is even better.
Spring Tour update #1
Spring Tour 2017 got off to a great start on Sunday at Saddlebock Brewery in Springdale, AR. Last night was Evangeline's in St. Louis, MO. Heading back to Arkansas today for a gig at Brews in Eureka Springs. Also playing five shows this week in Oklahoma and one in Kansas. Check the SHOWS page for details.

Talk Will Tell EP is now available!
My new release, Talk Will Tell EP, is now available! It features four previously released songs - two from See Through, two from Things Moving On Their Own Together - and two new songs, “The Ballad of Cash and Dean” and “Radio Caroline” (both historical explorations of a sort, one that literally came to me in a dream). The feeling of this EP is the gripping immediacy of an intimate, live solo acoustic show. You can stream or download from Bandcamp.
The new EP was recorded during my 2016 tour. Engineered, mixed, and mastered by Tom Miller at Tritone Studios in Clayton, NC on Friday, October 7th. Tom also captured the session on video, which will be available soon.
Stay tuned for upcoming tour dates! Thanks for listening!!
